The cotton has been over and the cotton plants have been sold smoothly. It is this type of plant transaction that has allowed Yang Yue to see the direction of the future. Originally, after returning to China, he was always confused. He didn't know how to play what he had learned. His family did not support his ideas. Farmers, in many wealthy families, have more derogatory meanings than praises. No family let a heir go to farm.

Because of this, Yang Yue's plan for fertilizers and cotton was also encountered by Waterloo without the support of his family. Without Yang Yuanzhao's appearance, he might be honest and do things he would not want to do or do. Several years of studying and research abroad would be in vain.

The sale of a large number of cotton plants made him realize that in China, agriculture still has great potential. If they had not cooperated to complete cotton planting at that time, they would have earned several times the profit by relying on the cotton plants. The price of 1.2 yuan and 5,000 plants could definitely be considered high. As for the investment, it was only a fraction of the investment. If all the 21,000 acres of cotton plants were sold, it would be at least 25,000 yuan.

The reason why no one bought his cotton seeds before was not because these farmers had no money. The key was that the farmers didn’t know what effect they would have in the end after spending this money.

These cotton plants are different. Their growth can basically be seen. As long as there is no problem during transplantation, success is inevitable and the yield will also turn a few times.

Yang Yue firmly decided to continue researching in this direction, and Yang Yuanzhao was also very happy. His goal was already focused on industry. To be precise, it was a heavy industry and power industry dominated by the steel industry. However, the primary industry such as agriculture cannot be given up. Some of the knowledge he knew from later generations can definitely be called forward-looking in this era. On the one hand, contacting Yang Yue was to integrate into the local wealthy families in Baotou, and on the other hand, it was not just a partner in agriculture.

Yang Yue specially found Yang Yuanzhao and wanted Yang Yuanzhao to help order a batch of agricultural research equipment. He based on the laboratory equipment when he was studying in the United States and added some innovations, which were basically the latest in the world.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao met Yang Yue's request. He directly took out some of the equipment purchased from Shanghai, and even added his transformation to make them more suitable for agricultural research. As for newer and more accurate experimental equipment, it needs to be purchased from Europe and the United States. Soon, Habi will come from Shanghai to Baotou. In addition to bringing a batch of machines, he will also make the final confirmation with Yang Yuanzhao before going to Europe.

Habi's plan to go abroad was confirmed as early as Shanghai. Yang Yuanzhao took advantage of what he knew at the time and listed a list of machine purchases. Among them, due to haste, there may be some omissions, and some are slightly different from the top machines now. This is why Habi got the information.

Therefore, after a passage of foreign business in Shanghai, Habi took the initiative to send a telegram to Yang Yuanzhao, and brought a batch of machines by the way.

China is huge and the journey is long, but Yang Yuanzhao did not stop Habi. It is time to come and take a look. Shanghai is the current economic center of China and has more potential, but Baotou is Yang Yuanzhao's roots. The foundation is unstable, so how can we talk about rapid development? It can be foreseen that Habi will travel back and forth between Baotou many times in the future. It is normal for him to come once now.

After a period of running-in, Yang Yue's laboratory finally completed several simple experimental machines and more than a dozen smart servants, together formed the Baotou Plant Research Institute. For the time being, only wheat and cotton were studied. In the greenhouse, they began to try to plant off-season vegetables, use greenhouses to replace the differences in the solar terms, and let the plants grow and germinate. This is a bigger topic, and there are more things involved. Even Yang Yuanzhao couldn't say that, so he could only let Yang Yue experiment slowly.

The cotton transplantation was basically completed, and Yang Yuanzhao's new home was completed quietly. Since Sun Fusheng and his friends moved in, Yang's house has undergone subtle changes every day. Yang Yuanzhao is a science and engineering man and an engineer. He is striving for excellence in his work and does not allow any mistakes. In life, especially in the life of this era, he does not understand a lot. After the little problems in the design of the house were gradually developed, Sun Fusheng and the others raised it.

Yang Yuanzhao is not particularly concerned about the things in life, whether life is true, whether there is a home, it is more of a habit, which makes home more comfortable and allows others to enjoy this comfort. In many things, he does not pursue absolute control and control. He still focuses more on the machine itself.

From Shanghai, Wuhan, and Tianjin, we obtained hundreds of thousands of drawings, more than half of which were very useful. He did not plan to copy them all. With the existence of an all-in-one machine, he could flexibly transform these parts and create better products based on the original foundation. The most obvious example is the steam engine.

Now, the most commonly used and most commonly used marine steam engines in Yang Yuanzhao's hands are the 20-horsepower marine steam engines. This is the smallest of all steam engines. It can be said that in miniaturization, it has achieved the ultimate goal.

In the eyes of Yang Yuanzhao's later generations, he still had certain problems, such as sealing. In this era, vulcanized rubber had not been invented, and the sealing performance of rubber was not good. This steam engine also used part of rubber and part of cork as sealing, which would more or less produce air leakage and affect the conversion of the entire thermal effect.

Yang Yuanzhao has found a suitable sealing material from the sealing materials of thermos bottles in later generations, and optimized the entire steam engine. The cylinder block of the steam engine expanded by 30% under the premise of constant weight. The pressure it can withstand has doubled, and the temperature effect has also been increased from about 300 degrees to 500 degrees. A simple increase has been made to transform the steam engine with a 20 horsepower, sealed and sufficient lubrication, reducing the engine's energy loss by about 25%. The expanded 30% cylinder block provides more powerful power. The temperature effect is improved, so that the steam engine remains stable at a higher temperature without cooling the water tank. After such transformation, the power of this smallest steam engine has been increased from 20 horsepower to 35 horsepower. The subsequent models can even reach more than 50 horsepower.

Simple, just on the small steam engine project, it made a breakthrough, almost doubled its horsepower. On small warships and torpedo boats, the torpedo boats will increase the speed by about 15%. This increase is simply a terrifying leap for torpedo boats that are very sensitive to speed. High-speed, high-hidden torpedo boats, and the threat to warships is almost doubled in the nearshore.

The finished product of this small engine was immediately used in a power plant not far away, increasing the installed capacity from 3,600 kilowatts to 5,400 kilowatts. The same coal burning has obtained stronger power, and on the other hand, it supports the modification of the entire courtyard. The front yard and the corridor are almost covered with electric lights, making it as bright as daytime even in the dark night when you can't see your fingers. As for the back yard, it has become much softer. The cloth materials and fuel extracted from later clothes were made of only a black-shading cloth and curtains. The curtains were closed. Even if it was day outside, there was no trace of light in the house.

On the first weekend of June, under the inspiration of Yang Yue and Liu Shu, coupled with the growing prosperity of Baoxin Flour Factory and Baoken Company, which has already gained profits, also in order to celebrate its own housewarming, Yang Yuanzhao set up a table in his house and invited familiar guests to come and visit.
